What does it truly mean to be on mission? Acts 1 opens with a scene that feels surprisingly familiar: a group of people who know the right answers but are still wrestling with the wrong questions. As Jesus prepares to ascend, his disciples ask about the restoration of Israel's kingdom, and his response reorients everything. The mission is not about satisfying our curiosity or resolving our unanswered questions. It is about taking the message of Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the ends of the earth. That commission has not expired. It belongs to us just as much as it belonged to those first followers. The sermon draws a striking parallel between the meticulous coordination required for a space mission and the kind of alignment God calls us to in our spiritual lives. Every person, every role, every yielded heart matters. When even one small thing is overlooked, the mission is compromised. We are invited to ask ourselves honestly: do we actually know Jesus, or have we simply settled for knowing about him? There is a world of difference between the two, and that difference determines everything about how we live and how we witness.
